[ad_1] An ugly scene was witnessed during a live broadcast on Inooro TV as two rival groups encountered each other at a press conference meant to defend Kandara Member of Parliament (MP) Alice Wahome’s remarks.
Supporters affiliated to Wahome had convened for a meeting and were expected to hold a press conference in defense of Wahome’s remarks uttered last week.
Her supporters intended to address the attacks that were leveled against her following the press conference castigating President Uhuru Kenyatta, that escalated to an attack on ODM’s Raila Odinga.
A few moments into the media address, a rival group stormed in and disrupted the proceeding, going on for close to an hour in verbal and an almost fit exchange.
